Abstract

Over the years there has been a drastic change in the life style of consumers, there is a rising demand for nutritionally rich, easy to prepare dishes and also the shift of mindset to obtain nutrients through food for sustenance. Premixes are one such category of food. The present study was conducted to understand the acceptance of a preservative free, simple and nutritional blend that is cost-effective. The product “Multipro Ragi Premix”, has a unique blend of ragi, dates, flax seeds and oats. This makes the product calcium-rich, gluten-free and even suitable for lactose-intolerants. The acceptance was studied by conducting a sensory evaluation using the hedonic method based on a 9-point scale. The Evaluation was performed on sensory attributes like appearance, color, taste, texture, aroma, and the overall acceptability of the product. As per the RDA laid by ICMR, the product tends to serve 27% of the daily required calcium. Estimation of the Storage study data determined that it has a shelf life of minimum four weeks.
